Regular price

Verify. Verify. Verify.

Insider Info from Joshua

"This isn’t the only RX Verifier on the market but it is the best. Here’s why. We moved the printing to the backside of the plate so it won’t wear off. By having you assemble the unit, you can position horizontal zero exactly how you like it. We significantly expanded the base plate to make it easier to hold eyewear in place when taking readings. Simple but proprietary tweaks so you get years and years of use."

Screw Loosening Fluid #4110

#4110

Regular price
$5.75

Do you have a screw stuck so tightly that any more pressure will strip the driver slot and create more problems?

Use a drop of this specially formulated screw loosening fluid on the head and base of the screw and allow it to sink in. The fluid is designed to flow between the threads to make it easier to break free. 6cc applicator.

Accurately measures bifocal placement from the pupil to the lowest point on the eyewire.

"A PD rule can be much more than a simple measuring stick. Check out the features on our selection of rules. You will surely find one that makes your dispensing or lab task easier and more accurate. All American made where a 70mm reading on the scale is 70mm in reality."

Tool Magnetizing Block #2184

#2184

Regular price
$39.95

Insert. Charge. Magnetize.

Totally Cool! Charge Your Tools!

We’ve figured out a way to get around the fact that the type of steel used to make pliers and driver blades cannot be permanently magnetized. This is the easy and efficient way to continuously provide a magnetic charge to drivers, tweezers and pliers to pick up those small screws and findings.

Insider Info from Joshua

"Often I am asked, “Why can’t screwdriver blades be magnetized?” Here’s the answer. They can be… (pause for effect)…but they just can’t be permanently magnetized. It has to do with the type of steel used to make blades: soft enough to be stamped into shape and strong enough to be able to be hardened. That translates to low iron content steel and it is the iron that holds the magnetic charge. The key is to keep applying a magnetic charge to the steel when not in use and it will hold the charge for when it is in use. That’s what this little guy does."

Vertex Distometer #2062

#2062

Regular price
$99.00

Be aware of vertex distance when fitting a patient with high minus or plus over 5 diopters. In the exam room, the trial lens can be a greater distance from the patient’s pupil than the actual lens in the eyewear. That difference in distance will change the effective power of the lens impacting the patient’s visual acuity. The distance will need to be compensated by using the Vertex Distometer.

With the patient’s eyes closed, allow the cupped tip to rest on the upper eyelid. Extend the second arm until it contacts the minus side of the spectacle lens. Compare the measurement to that taken while the patient was wearing the trial lens on the compensation scale. This determines the appropriate modification to the Rx.

Insider Info from Joshua

"Western manufactures the Hot Box frame warmer and we have conducted many tests on which size glass beads most evenly distributes and retains the heat for more efficient operation and the avoidance of hot spots. We’ve even tried plastic beads (didn’t work). Beads that are too fine (like sand or salt) trap the heat and when combined over time with atmospheric moisture can turn the medium into a brick which can burn or scratch the eyewear. Our Performance Enhancing Glass Beads allows small gaps between the spheres for air flow and even heat distribution. Breaking with tradition, we do not offer two sizes of beads. We decided only to offer the best size at a competitive price."
